But I just can't believe that anyone would be making a game only to lie after several updates. It takes time, money and dedication to get as far as he did (even if many people said that making a game is a piece of cake). It would be a long shot to start and expect that by the tenth release you will start scamming your patrons.
Yes, exactly. It takes a lot of time and dedication to continue making these games. It's not exactly fun putting in all this time to make a porn game and it's completely understandable why someone would want to stop working on their game and lose interest. That's what gumdrop did, but he didn't want to come out and say that because then he wouldn't also be making a shitload on money on patreon if he did. It's not a long-shot to believe someone got tired of working on their game which takes a tremendous amount of time and effort to create, but wanted to keep his money rolling in so he continues to act like he's still developing it.
Yeah, and I'm stringing along my employer because I missed the deadlines in past two quarters. It's certainly not due to my laziness or because I got completion anxiety. No, it's because I'm a liar and I'm stringing them along.
If you put out a deadline it's because you can reasonably expect to be done with the game by that date. When gumdrop put out a deadline in 2018 it's because he reasonably believed he could finish it by then but he didn't. He did the same thing multiple times in 2019 and 2020.
Clearly those past deadlines were bullshit, there's no excuse for a delay in for a deadline in 2018 to take over 2 years to complete, that's ridiculous. There is no excuse for a delay for a deadline in 2019 to take over a year to complete. There is no excuse for a delay for a deadline at the start of 2020 to take over 6 months to complete. It's obvious all his past deadlines were lies and bullshit, because he's stringing along his patrons.
I know. But rendering them—when you don't have any idea how blender works—is simply way too difficult for a beginner to understand. Even being extremely generous and assuming that only the two animations are holding him back, he won't make it in two months. Two quarters more like it.
You're a fool if you think gumdrop is actually working on these animations in blender. The animations were completed by fatcat, an experienced animator with a proven track-record of quality animations. Gumdrop has been going on about fatcat working on these animations for him for like over a year and they do not take that long to be made, they don't take anywhere close to that. It's pretty obvious gumdrop was lying about the length it took for fatcat to create these animations, and it's even more obvious now that he's lying about working in blender to finish the animations because fatcat finished them months ago.
Plus, it makes no sense for gumdrop to work on animations in blender when he has no experience on it and it's already been over 2 years without an update. If he was serious about getting the update out he'd just pay someone who knows what they're doing to work on them, especially when he's making thousands and thousands of dollars a month. Again, you're a fool if you think gumdrop is actually working on anything in blender, let a lone animations.
But I won't say that he planned it all out from the start or that he intended to deceive everyone and is now laughing at his patrons and isn't working on anything.
I mean, he's clearly not working on the game though, he has nothing to show for it. If he had spent the last over 2 years working on this game, he'd have completed a huge amount of work by now and would have plenty to show for it. Yet, his most recent evidence of him working on the game were renders from his old christmas update? lol. It's pretty obvious he's not working on the game and is fully aware of what he's doing. This isn't some lazy guy who has been running into some snags with development, the time where that was a believable scenario has long since passed. After over 2 years with nothing to show for and countless provable lies it's pretty clear that gumdrop isn't working on the game and is deliberately leading his patrons on to keep the money flowing.
